Tradition and Innovation

We started out as a small village smithy.

What started out as a small village smithy in 1879, now has become an internationally active company headquartered in Mühlhausen, in the Bavarian region of Upper Palatinate, with branches in Dresden, Berlin, Borkheide, Ladbergen and Bolzano.
